ICT


Science and Technologies are very important to everyone. The advancement of technologies now makes the world modernized. Most of the things that we use and we can see are the fruit of Science and Technologies. One of that output is the computer and with the use of its internet, that we can use to communicate to other person even if there are in a faraway place. We use also the internet for searching as well as making assignments.
ICT (Information and Communications Technology) is our subject about technologies. In that 1st grading period, I learned about the history of Internet. Our teacher taught us also all about the internet and the different parts of website. We also learned about blogs. I don’t know that the word “blog” came from the contraction of the term “Web Log”. Blog is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, description of events or other material such as graphics or video. We also knew the types of blogs. In line with that we also made our Google + account, but I have already an account that made me easier. We post our activities there. During our class, we made that us our chatting room.

Having a subject like that, make the students to be ready for the future. And learning all about computers make the things easier and cool. I have learned many things in that 1st grading period and I hope that there will more lessons to be learning.

Gutom at Malnutrition: Sama-Sama Nating Wakasan




         For every year in the month of July, the National Nutrition Council (NCC) leads the whole nation in celebration of the Nutrition Month. For this year 2013, the theme is “Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan (Starvation and malnutrition, let us end it together!)”
          In our society starvation and malnutrition is the main problem. Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy, nutrient, and vitamin intake. It describes a "state of exhaustion of the body caused by lack of food." This state may precede death. And malnutrition is a general term for a condition caused by inadequate dietary intake and/or disease. There are increasing rate of those who are suffering from starvation, because poverty. And there are now many children who are not eating nutrition foods like junk foods. Because most of the children now, they don’t like to eat vegetables.
          We need to act on that problem. If there’s a problem there is a solution. The solution on that problem is eating a nutritious foods and stop eating junk foods. So we must eat go, grow, glow foods. Starvation and malnutrition let us end it together.
